Amazing finish. Good to see the video referee not bottle overturning the referee's decision for a change.

At least he got it correct in the end!

It's partially Bennetts boringly, basic, no risk, no interplay game plan that's to blame for England's turgid performance.

You can do, but it can be pointed out for it's stupidity when it was Gale who got done for the first try. Let me guess it was Watkins fault that McGillvary slipped off his attempted tackle of Russell.

Half these "Scots" are third rate Auzzies, wonder what will happen next week?

But they have targeted both his inside and outside. He is the common factor in their point of attack.

John Kear: "it's been a cracking game"
Ha!

Bennett's England so far is the worst and flattest I can recall in a long while.

what am i watching here. we will get dry humped by the Aussies next week, absolute garbage

Just checking the blame Watkins brigade is in full effect.

Don't worry about the fact that Gale made the misread, or that McGilvery dropped off his man, or that NZ actually DIDNT score down that side last week.
Any try a team scores on our right hand side is Watkins fault.

(fellow confused Leeds fans, we have to join in this pointless scapegoating or we might have to come to the reality that England as a whole still aren't good enough)

We literally attack with no dummy runners, it's so easy to defend against. Although England have started to look a bit more up for it, they've looked for the first 30 minutes really placid.

My prediction for the next match tonight - Australia to beat NZ by 25 points plus.

We are also not going attack for attack, we are attacking one side then running it in then attacking the other side. This means we are giving the opponents a chance to recover and get their numbers right in between legitimate attempts to score.

This is in slow motion

Australia will rape us next week, it's not even funny.

Hospital pass from Williams there.

This will sell the unsold seats for next week no problem

REMOVED - No more abuse please..

I have not expressed a view as to whether Watkins has been at fault - simply that's the side that teams are attacking. Maybe to take the sting out of his attacking brilliance?

bring back Mac!

at least there will be no heart break this year. can clearly see what will happen next week and we aren't even going to give ourselves an outside chance with points difference. What a dire team we are, completely devoid of half backs and generally any ideas we seem to have gone backwards.

About it.

I personally think Watkins is having a better game than most. I also think this is one hell of a boring performance by England. Scotland look far better.

If our outside backs were a main, major or even significant problem we would be winning this game comfortably.

Pedestrian one up forward play, slow disjointed unimaginative halves, a turgid game plan, and absolutely no fluency are our problems.

Complaining about our outside backs is like complaining that the embroidery on the tablecloths ruined your cruise on the titanic

Its not just you though, peoples first instinct is to blame him, same as the RU fans blamed Burgess, same as the football fans blamed Rooney. The reality is none of the teams are good enough to win anything.

Also, if Gale would pass to Lomax instead of giving hospital short passes then Watkins or McGilvery would have scored a couple. He was Lucky in the bounce for the second try, because there was acres of space if he had passed out wide.

Don't think anybody has argued our outside backs are a problem. Agree the forward play, without, Graham is nothing short of pathetic.
